It's that never know that gets me. Was in the Valley at ten years old for the San Fernando quake of Feb 9, 1971. The Earth became as an 
sea.
It doesn't take a "Rocket" geologist to look at the big picture of the San Andreas fault as a plate boundary with the Pacific plate slowly moving northward as the North American plate remains relatively stationary and most all these cute little events that always have Cal Tech scratching their heads and calling it an unknown fault are merely stress fractures due to the fact that there is a huge dogleg in the plate boundary,.the SA fault running basically from the Riverside / San Bernadino area North to where it straightens out again running up through the San Juaquine valley.
This dogleg will eventually break and that's gonna be our big one, I say our becuase my guess is it will be doing significant damage in cities like Spokane with all it's old brick structures, God only knows whats gonna happen there, you being on the Pacific plate, we'll probably end up neighbors again lol, cheers![[Image: happy.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/happy.gif)
